The fact that the Swedish company FX Airguns once again comes with a high‑performance and exceptionally accurate PCP air rifle is no big surprise. Their air rifles are already renowned all over the world. This time, however, they have come up with something truly unique – an air rifle whose air cylinder wraps around the barrel.
Air rifles of the FX DRS series therefore resemble sniper rifles at first glance. This impression is further enhanced by the modernized SHP power plenum protruding from the underside, which looks like a magazine. The real magazine is, as usual, inserted into the slot in the middle of the standard 11mm dovetail rail for a riflescope and holds projectiles up to 11.3mm long (0.45").

Superior Heavy Smooth Twist X – As is customary with FX products, the rifling of the barrel is pressed from the outside. The result is an exceptionally smooth inner surface, which minimizes friction during the shot. The air cylinder running around the barrel also serves as a jacket, a so‑called shroud, which stiffens the whole air rifle and reduces oscillations during the shot. The outer diameter of the shroud is 34mm. For optional installation of a sound moderator, the muzzle is equipped with the standard 1/2UNF thread.
To maintain the sleek appearance of the entire air rifle, the adjustment elements of the AMP MkII regulator and the hammer spring have been moved inside the stock, which must be removed to make any adjustments. However, the rifle is factory‑tuned to offer the best balance of power, accuracy, and air consumption with most commonly available ammunition straight out of the box.
This model is fitted with an elegantly shaped w walnut stock by the renowned Italian manufacturer Minelli, with a fixed cheekpiece and a fixed buttpad made of soft rubber. The cocking lever is fixed on the right side, as is the lever‑type manual safety. On the left side there is a manometer indicating the current pressure in the cylinder, and the fully adjustable trigger with variable blade position hardly needs to be mentioned.
NOTE: With this air rifle it is necessary to pay attention to the remaining pressure in the cylinder. We recommend keeping the pressure at approximately 150 bar or higher. If the pressure drops below the regulator’s set value, the rifle may completely depressurize.
